Peer-to-Peer

The peer-to-peer paradigm has proved itself as a powerful approach for large-scale distributed systems. The construction of reliable and high-performance overlay networks is a young but fast moving research area. Our research focuses on the efficient management of data in and the quality of service in highly-dynamic and public peer-to-peer networks.

Topics currently addressed are:

• Solving distributed cartesian products with BubbleStorm
• CUSP channel-based unidirectional stream protocol
• Overlay Modelling Language (OverML)
• Reputation Systems in Peer-to-Peer Networks
• Publish/Subscribe: content-based routing strategies
